Food Truck Scholarship

The Belgrade Community Coalition is passionate about events that draw the community together, we are also passionate about food that people can enjoy while at these events! Because of this, we would like to offer Food Truck Scholarships to a limited number of vendors who participate in our fine town’s events.

Let the BCC pay your Belgrade License Fee!After you turn in your completed scholarship application and are approved by the BCC, we will reimburse your Belgrade City License fee (up to $100) if you complete the following by June 30, 2019:

Sign up, show up, and pay the fee for at least nine Belgrade Community Market nights in 2018.*

Participate in at least one other BCC event between July 2018 and June 2019. An example of some of these events are:

Belgrade Summer Street Dance

Neighborhood Block Parties

Belgrade Festival of Lights

Belgrade Summer Kick Off

Help spread the word! Approved Food Trucks are required to post a minimum of 2 social media posts per Belgrade event they are a participant.

*Nights you participate in the Belgrade Community Market must be pre-scheduled and approved by the Market committee. Food Truck vendors are required to sign a BCM Registration Form and pay a $10 nightly vendor fee in order to be legal with the market and the City of Belgrade. The Market committee must also sign off that you participated fully (ie – arrived and stayed the entire length of each market night) in order for you to fulfill your obligation.

What are the laws around food trucks in Belgrade?All food vendors must have a business license fee through the City of Belgrade. This is a yearly license and costs $50 if the vendor is local / in the Gallatin Valley. Vendors outside of the Gallatin Valley pay $150 for the City license. Food vendors who already have a business license (for example, a brick-and-mortar restaurant), do not have to pay an additional fee.Further details on the City of Belgrade Business License Fees can be found here:http://ci.belgrade.mt.us/administration/code/Title-2-Business-License-Regulations.pdf

In addition to the City requirements, food vendors also need to be licensed with Gallatin County and can then serve food anywhere within the County. The fees for this license vary, depending on size and what’s being applied for.Further details on the Gallatin County requirements can be found here:
